So only available in C Carbon....so not much of a savings in weight. 1.2 lbs for the S Kit....only difference being the brakes Guide T vs. Level TL

Dig the matching Hope Hubs/HS.....but from a price standpoint, a downgrade from the DT 350.

Great that you can still run 140mm fork.

It's about time they made a carbon SS frame.

Like the color.

Now I just need to break my Al frame.

As soon as I saw this bike I thought of you. Seems silly that they only did in the heavier carbon.

Ah...O.K. I stopped by Friday on an errand and checked out the bike. I asked what the cash price would be. They responded with a high pressure sales " buy today" discounted price. A significant discount. I asked if I could have until Monday and they reluctantly said yes. I went home and asked my wife for a purchase order. She agreed. She agreed! Really?? Yes, she did. Wait that was to easy. Somethings a miss here. But no. She's cool like that. I went back to Path and rode the bike and confirmed some questions. I then said they could keep the bike, sell it and I can wait for the next one. I'm here to secure the deal and after all I have other bikes at my disposal.-And it might help them to make another sale for the weekend. They said no this is your bike. They changed the dropper to a 125mm later that day and installed pedals that came from the other store. I picked it up in the rain Saturday. I hope to ride it soon. I'm waiting on water bottle mounts and I want to put on frame protection, tool storage before I start riding it.

30 % chance I might be able to take it for a ride tomorrow. I installed a SMP seat and Renthal Fat bars. If you know of a better fitting frame bag than this one please let me know.

Looks fast just sitting there! How is the paint IRL???

These are the go-to cheap bags: https://www.ebay.com/itm/123297041431 They're not made well, but are ridiculously cheap and fit perfectly. I had to reinforce the seams on mine, but it keeps working! For $5 you can't go too wrong...

If you want a larger and much better made bag, the Blackburn frame bags fit great: https://www.jensonusa.com/Blackburn-Outpost-Medium-Frame-Bag

You can run them in the unexpanded position with the bottle cage, or remove the cage and open it up.

Nice color :thumbsup: My dad bought an old bike for me when I was about 12. Painted it up with a rattle can in the same color. It turned out really nice but not on a Santa Cruz level :laugh: I loved that paint.
Ride that beast @Stkx66
